Catherine Connors has written for a long time about her nephew Tanner, who has Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy. In a wonderful movement that can only prove what open-heartedness the internet community is capable of, as we saw recently with the support for Ivy, this coming Friday morning New York time (Friday evening here in Australia) many, many people will be lining up for the BlogHer 5K, ready to show their support.

I thought as I couldn’t be there I could still donate (please follow that link – it has some great ideas, as does this one) and do the run anyway.

Today. At 6am in the morning. In the Melbourne winter. With bed hair.

I’m doing this so there’s a little time left for others to donate or get involved. Donate through the link above or perhaps to Muscular Dystrophy Australia.

And now here’s a little more. Remember, I warned you about the hair:


 

Mission accomplished!
